Populist Legislator Done With Fusion.
Tho following letter to tho public over
tho nnmo of Hon. B. Wyman, a well known
populist, representing the nuffalo county
district In the lower house of the last leg
islature, announcing his adherenco to re
publicanism, Is 0110 of the significant straws
pointing the political wind in the present
campaign, it wns published 11 ret In Mr.
Wyman's home paper at Hhelton.
Kdltor Shelton Clipper. Mr. Bryan's
special organ, the World-Herald, comes out
and tells the populists and silver repub
licans what to do and how to do It In tho
present campaign. It Usues Its "Impera
tive mandate" and calls on tho "loyal men"
in hnw their loyalty to Mr. Ilryan by "vot
ing for tho ontlro ticket." This Is more
than the populists and silver republicans
have ever been asked to do before nnd moro
than they will do now, for to do so would
bo to end their party existence by their be
coming democrats. The line Is drawn
sharply nnd no one of ordinary political
sagacity can be deceived by the cunning
of the adroit party leaders. Few of the
populists will consent to become demo
crats on national Issues and remain fusion-
tuts 011 stato Issues. The democrats have Ig
nored their allies on the main question
nnd they will Ignore them on statu Issues
If successful on national Issues. Here nru
the Herald's words, which speak too plainly
to bo misunderstood:
The Kansas City convention has deter
mined the attitude of the democratic party
with respect to the populists and silver
republican elements. Now. In full view f
the convention's action, It lies with the
populists nnil silver republicans tn de
termine their duty townrd tho democratic
party. We are conlltlent a few days nt
calm ami thoughtful consideration will
bring every loyal man tn thn eonrlunlon
that Mr. Bryan now has not only u claim
for the support of the entire ticket, but
Is absolutely entitled to such support.
Just so, we have tnkon those "few days
of calm and thoughtful consideration" and
have arrived at a very different conclu
sion than the one outlined by the World-
Herald, for "every loyal man" to arrive they are simply wasting tholr time In try
at. No alt . Mr. Hitchcock, this campaign Ing to better matters by assisting the old ,

Issue not already passed upon by the peo

Within two weeks the county commission
ers will have redecemed 500 acres of tho
most fertile land In Douglas county, ma
terially adding to tho wealth of farmers be
tween Waterloo and Valley. Four days ago
grading and dredging machines wcro set to
work on the great slough running threa
miles southeaat from Valley and the labor
Is progressing favorably. The reclaimed
laud will bo worth $50 per ncre, or alto
gether about $25,000, It l owned by a dozen
farmers, all of whom have offered to aid tho
county in tho task.
The lower end of the slough reaches within
a half mile of the Klkhorn river, but It was
deemed tinwleo to dig a ditch dlreully
ncrofs because of tho Intervening high
ground and the danger that the river would
back Into tho slough In high water. The
commlsnlonera therefore are running a ditch
to tho wp3t and south. Joining the river at
a point threo mllea farther down. At tha
end of the canal there are patches of willows
which workmen are now engaged In grub
bing out. Other men and teams art busy
digging tbo ditch, which hns now rcuched
one-half mile from the starting point.
The land between Valley nnd Waterloo Is
used almost exclusively for the raising of
need, many largo eastern seed houses being
supplied from the neighborhood. The soil
has boon found particularly adapted to thn
purpose nnd the reclaimed slough will he
more valuable thpn ordlnnry farm land. Thn
slough has been In the poshesslon of frogs
and crawfish since the memory of the ear
